Little Alchemist Reviews

The “arena” is practically filled with people who stole their mother’s credit card and bought 9 million packs because I refuse to believe you pulled a level 5 legendary 29/50 immediately and there’s no way to win because the match making is broken, the actual game relies on research which won’t benefit you for an entire day and even then the “card pool” doesn’t work and all you get is an ash from every basic card pack, the stamina function is just dumb in every game but mostly so in this, I would rate this game 0 stars but I’m afraid I’m out of stamina and that would cost $9.99 to fix

When I started playing I did the time switch to speed up energy gain. I got a warning that it might ruin my leaderboard ranking which happens weekly or so. Eventually it did. What they failed to tell you is they do this on purpose and revoke all access to 2 key features in the game permanently. I stopped immediately and I’ve emailed them months later in hopes of getting it lifted. All my emails have been ignored completely. Purchases are overpriced which makes me regret even spending anything on this game, especially when you realize they probably don’t even have customer support.

Please fix the save system. Your game does not appear where iCloud data can be deleted. There is no way to delete the first save file that gets put there. Any money spent on another game vanishes with it because you have no restore purchases button. The save game is also not linked to kongregate account. The only game that gets saved is my ancient game on my dying iPad and I’ve tried everything to get it to switch to my new device’s game. (But I keep getting prompts to reload the old iCloud data that Apple won’t let me delete. You have to work around them and create a way for to save active games that is not dependent on iCloud.

A couple of years ago, I played this game and it was great, just a load of fun. There would be events every week, progression was so easy, and even the gem offers were easy to complete. I downloaded the game again the other day and I noticed how horrible it is. Dust is so incredibly hard to get, which makes progression really sluggish. I bought a starter pack and didn’t get the reward, which is just robbery at that point. I even got marked in the arena as a “cheater”, and only get paired against extremely high people when I am a silver level player at best. Overall this game has a lot of issues and I would not recommend redownloading it for the nostalgia. I have emailed the company about the issues and I don’t think they will respond due to how little people play the game now. Don’t waste your time with this game.

I love this game. I have spent many months and hours pouring into this game. I have loved unlocking new combos, discovering new cards, and upgrading them to get the best deck I can. What I do not love about this game is that when you upgrade your phone and want to install the game on your new phone to continue playing, the profile you sync to is now months old, missing all the cards, dust, research that you’ve spent countless hours grinding. I was gutted to see that my profile no longer had my two boss cards or my fully upgraded onyx card. Backing up your app should not be that hard and you have had plenty of time to figure it out.

Fun game, but what a waste of time if you ever need to download it on a different device or new phone.

I have played this game for a long time the diamonds need to be adjusted. There is no log in gift what so ever. You really have to grind and play for a long time to upgrade your cards. Purchasing upgrade cards cost diamonds that are very hard to get without purchasing even then you won’t be upgrading a lot. Really need to make the purchasing power of money go further it’s just you guys making a lot of money with very little reward. How can we fix this. Getting dust is ridiculous unless you spend large amount of time saving your coins for basic cards that really don’t yield nothing but 1 dust cards. Unless you get around 3 k or more and you multi purchase cards. Artwork or gift giveaways would be good like login bonuses and friends lists that’s can help you get and receive dust. Log in a certain amount of days for a card pack or random diamond cards would be a hell of a incentive to get people playing again and wanting to embrace the game again. Been playing off and on for 6 years y’all haven’t done much with revamping this game. Still the same two islands to play no revisions. Once you pass that there’s nothing really to do but wait for the portals and log in for arenas. Which doesn’t give you much coin either. I get you want to make money but please revamp this game

I love this game, my only complaint is that for the PvP in the arena, I can’t win a single battle. Why? You might ask, well because I am a bronze rank 1, and the only people showing up on my thing to fight are all legendary rank 2 or 3, also known as the top 20 players in the game. I can not win a match if I’m only able to fight the top 20, then when I go to world wide, I only get the top 100 players I can fight. I still can’t win even fighting the person ranked 100. Please adjust so I can partake in arena rewards, I can’t even get my daily coinage for winning because I simply can’t win.
Changes to 3 star review because they wont give feedback nor address the issues.

I’ve restarted the game multiple times just to try and be able to get the arena to work but no matter what I do, it keeps giving me only the same five opponents. All of which have thousands of stars and are ranked many levels above me in the arena. If I can’t win even one match then I can’t get the daily bonuses for competing. I also wish the events at the portal would cycle back through again because there is no way to be prepared for the first events when you are low leveled no matter how much training you do in the first four areas. Also gems are impossible to get.

The game is fun and a good concept, but after a while there comes a point where you basically can’t progress anymore without paying, every boss has twice your health and all gold level 4+ cards (which you basically can’t get reasonably without paying money.) Seeing as you can’t really get gold cards outside of the 2 you start with, there’s a clear point where I just quit because I wasn’t making progress anymore. Also if you have a iPhone X or newer the game stretches to fit the entire screen and some of it gets cut off on the top of the phone.

This is a really great game, I’ve played it for about a year now and can confidently say that it has really good qualities that most games do not share today. You can tell a lot of time and creativity went into making the game, and the result speaks for its self, and is really wonderful to experience. That being said, the game does need some work. I’m not super tuned into the developer side of the game, but I know the game has not had meaningful updates in a few years. The game certainly has some issues, possibly like how difficult it is to obtain upgrading dust, and what I’d really like to see is the standard events repeating, -because I missed a number of them when I was picking up the game- however those problems can easily be fixed. I think if the devs start being active again and listening to the community to fix the flaws and update/upgrade the game it could have an amazing impact, and probably rise quite a bit in popularity. I do not think the game is something to give up on in this point in time, but I do think that if the devs remain inactive the game will potentially be unrecoverable.
Please update this wonderful game, theres no better opportunity than now

by Tar-Anarion

This game was very fun all the way through the first and second areas, but there’s is a HUGE grind gap in between maxing out your bronze/silver deck and then getting a deck with gold combo cards. You’re basically using the same deck for months without any way to progress until you finally get a single gold combo card, then it’s more grinding to get everything to level 4. There’s no real casual play opportunity past this point

I’ve been playing this game for almost 4 years over 3 accounts and lately I’ve been noticing that there aren’t any special packs.
I think that special packs are a good way for long time players like me to spend the gems they are getting.
What I’m saying is that I would be happy if we were to have special packs more frequently.

Me and my brother used to love playing this game. We would play it everyday and it was super fun. What I didn’t like about though was that they made the game super difficult for no reason. So me and my brother had to cheat by time glitching and then we couldn’t play against other players online. Just make the game a little bit easier and maybe people wouldn’t have to cheat. I deleted the game shortly after but I still loved the game.

I am a returning player. And I remember this game being so fun. I love playing now but I hope that they can bring back all the packs you can buy and the events in the portal. Kongregate if you get this could please implement the bold stuff you use to have and add some new things. You have a piece of gold with this game and it has so much potential. I love this game and you guys fro creating this game. It’s like no other app I have played. So I just hope you guys can come back and add the packs, and events and add even more cool stuff.

Developers, I used to play this game all the time and it was so great. You didn’t have to spend money that much to progress. I got all the cards and everything in the game. But then I stopped playing. The one problem with this game is that there are only a few levels for adventure mode. This game could take off to the skies if you added many more levels and cards. This game could also use more ways to battle. There is only arena and adventure which is why this game is stuck and not getting recognized. If you guys added a bunch more adventure levels and events, along with a tournament system, this game would take off. Don’t let this game go, it has so much potential if you do what I am saying.

First off, the in-app purchases need to be adjusted. Getting 1 card for $5 is absurd.

I’m coming back to this game after a very long time thanks to my new iPhone X with more storage. I am very glad to see that LittleAlchemist was updated 3 days ago. After playing for a while I was concerned the developer was no longer active.

My issue right now is the visuals of the game need to be updated. I’m not asking for a rework of the graphics entirely, but I think the resolution could be sharper by now and formatted for the newer phones. On the iPhone X in particular, the graphics become stretched to fit the screen and it causes problems with the UI/UX. I know this particular phone is brand new, so I’m hoping an update for it will be considered shortly. Despite that, I still believe the pixels could be sharper for a mobile game in 2017.

I’ve been playing this game off and on for years. First off a couple years ago the you guys had special events every week that were fun and produced awesome rewards. Now your special events are lame and you hardly get anything from them. I spend money on games but not on this one because spending money hardly gets you anything worth buying. Getting dust is so frustrating that I have deleted this game multiple times and stopped playing. I know I’m not alone in this. You guys are losing money that way. Also I’ve done so many of the “free gem offers” I’ve only gotten rewarded from completing the task once! Not cool! I really love playing this game but it has gotten progressively worse not better. Also stop giving “bonus orbs” to my appointment EVERY SINGLE MATCH!!! That is so beyond frustrating, seriously it’s the worst part about the game. After reading all the other reviews on this game I know that everyone that plays it feels the same as I do. So please show us that you want to keep us as customers and fix it.

I just got the game today but when I started playing it was so entertaining and fun. When I got it it look not that fun but when I started trying it I started playing it so much I the day. I got to the castle and I beat everybody except the king.i love all the cards and the game is so addicting and I think everybody should play it. I told my friend that he should start playing and he did and we both love the game.

There was a game I played growing up called zombie farm. You might have heard of it but it was made by I think “play forge” and it was a VERY popular game. Im sure if u remake it you guys could make some bank. Not just that if u made that game what it was and more you guys could be hogging the top free/paid game options. Also if u made it so it’s not a pay to play game that would be amazing and when paying money should barley get you anywhere (sorta like clash of clans) plz do this👏🏻

Hello, this game is very good, support for the game was dropped a while ago but it was bought by an incredible company known as monumental, they have implemented changes that we were waiting for for years, such as the portal events repeating, also goblins give more gems and everything on the islands cost 1 less energy, premium packs are also back! It’s a great time to join as more changes are coming

by Jake Biggi

I played this game years ago and had a lot of fun with it. Since then, they’ve done a lot of updating, added a lot of new cards to play with, and made a lot of changes. One of these changes was to drastically slow down the progression of the game, which has made it much more frustrating to play. I really do want to play more and explore all the new cards, but after a lot of grinding I haven’t been able to make much of a dent. I wish they’d speed things up a bit (ie: making cards packs less expensive, rewarding gems more frequently, etc)

by Kaede45

Probably one of the best digital card games I've played in a long while...

Unfortunately, the game seems to have been abandoned by the devs as it hasn’t received an update in over 3 years. There are also problems with obtaining new, better cards without spending real money. The chances of obtaining cards from cpu battles is extremely low & most of the time you’ll be getting low level cards. Additionally, after completing the first area, the next area suffers a huge difficulty spike. Obtaining high level cards, dust & upgrades are super grindy with very little payoff. The arena also seems to be completely imbalanced to where if you don’t have all gold cards with rainbow combinations, you simply cannot win & you’ll lose any & all stars you’ve obtained. The game needs an overhaul to really make it pop again! I loved this game & it saddens me to see it in this state.
